GMTrex's PFS [Standard] Echoes of the Everwar Campaign (Inactive)

Game Master Andrew Trexler

@GM, sounds good.

Omrax prepares to teach the ambushers the meaning of justice.

Sorry for the delay. Things have been ridiculous here....

Quinn dances up to the ambushers and calls out "We need these lads to sing like the chorus giving exposition! Let's rough 'em up and see what they know!"
Razor's Kiss dance, also +2 att/AC from BoF

He dances up right past the man in the blue tabards before striking at him!
tumble: 1d20 + 32 ⇒ (1) + 32 = 33

Scimitar: 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 14 + 2 = 29
1d6 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

"Cayden Cailean, grant me the strength tae kick the butt o these sneaky bastards!"

Skybek casts divine favor and then moves forward gripping his axe tightly. (Could someone kindly move Skybek 30 ft west. My iPad will not let me.)

"When yae decided tae ambush us like thieves in the night, Ahh bet yae didnae realize that Ahh wid be carryin Crimzor wid me."

Skybek will use the +2 bonus on attack rolls, saving throws, and AC for Blessing of Fervor.

Quinn activates not one, but two blast runes along his path! I suppose I should actually pick an energy type.

Fire Damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (4, 6) + 6 = 16

His fur afire, the kitsune nevertheless slashes the poor man across the upper thigh.

The four men each drop their crossbows and draw the scimitars from behind their backs. Along each steel edge burns a black unholy fire. Omrax is surprised when his opposite's blade finds its way through the plates like a scalpel. Sareth too feels the sharp edge, though not quite as deeply.

Channel Smite @ Omrax: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28 THREAT Confirm: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30 Confirmed Damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 6) + 6 = 18 plus Neg Energy: 6d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 3, 2, 2, 6) = 20 DC 17 Will for half

Round II -- bold may act!
1. Sareth (90[98]/102 hp), Quinn, Mrachni, Omrax (65[75]/103 hp)
2. Ambushers (red @ 14 dmg, blue @ 10 dmg)
3. Skybek

Omrax staggers from the slash across his collarbone, seeing his blood spray onto the grass.

Will : 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21

"Thy actions have condemned thee! ."

current AC=28 and hp=75.

You took the bonus to speed this past round to get to your current position. I double checked. :)

Thanks for the note about HP, though. I was going off your header (112 - 9 - 18 - 10 = 75). I'll fix it.

yep I just realized that too. I was editing my post. You ninja'd me .

Ha! Ninjas ninja'ing each other.

Also, your header was actually correct -- because you also took sonic damage from the trap at the entrance. So 75 hp currently.

will post in a bit.., my wife is calling for help .

Will: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (6) + 16 = 22 "I see your faith is weak. Let me show you True Faith!"

Taking bonus to attacks, etc

Spiritual Scimitar 1: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 13 + 2 = 21 DMG if hit: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Spiritual Scimitar 2: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 2 = 12 DMG if hit: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Wow that was.... anticlimactic.

Man, those damage rolls. In a potential spread of 16-40 I scored a 17

Quinn Kouniashi, Trap "Springer" Extraordinaire!

Unperturbed by the fire, Quinn dances around the men's blades before striking back with a flurry of steel! Sadly, two of his blows are mighty clumsy despite his terrific performance.
Rain of Blows dance

Scimitar!: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 15 + 2 = 32
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Haste: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 15 + 2 = 19

Iterative: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 2 = 13 Nat 1...
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Ok - back from helping... .

Omrax slashes at the foe who drew his blood

Omrax-1 +1 EO longsword, pa: 1d20 + 16 - 3 ⇒ (15) + 16 - 3 = 28
for pa: 1d8 + 5 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 6 + 1 = 19 --- 1H only
Omrax-2 +1 EO longsword, pa: 1d20 + 11 - 3 ⇒ (9) + 11 - 3 = 17

for pa: 1d8 + 5 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 6 + 1 = 15 --- 1H only

Despite the plethora of sword-strokes, the Pathfinders barely inconvenience their foes!

Round II -- bold may act!
1. Sareth (98/102 hp), Quinn, Mrachni, Omrax (75/103 hp)
2. Ambushers (red @ 23 dmg, blue @ 21 dmg, green @ 18 dmg)
3. Skybek

quell played GM. Well played...

oh my last update dropped. Omrax also swift lays hands.

Hands, mercy : 5d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 1, 1, 3) + (1) = 13 bleh

Skybek takes a five foot step and power attacks the red ambusher with Crimzor. (Using Blessing of Fervor to get an extra attack.)

Crimzor: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

Crimzor: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31
Damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

Crimzor: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
Damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

"Ahh bet yae didnae ken that Ahh've an axe named Crimzor!"

Oh and it looks like Sareth activated another blast rune, too: Fire: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Crimzor cleaves through the man's knee and crashes into his ribs on the return stroke. Skybek hanks the axe free and buries it again in his skull. As the body falls, the heads of his three companions instantly turn to face the dwarf.

Round III -- bold may act!
1. Sareth (94/102 hp), Quinn, Mrachni, Omrax (75/103 hp)
2. Ambushers (blue @ 21 dmg, green @ 18 dmg)
3. Skybek

Mrachni steps forward and swings his sword at the evildoer, his eyes hard. "Face your doom," he rumbles. +2/+2/+2 from BoF.

Boop (BoF, HF): 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 14 + 2 + 1 = 19
Damage?: 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Boop (BoF, HF): 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 9 + 2 + 1 = 23
Damage: 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Mrachni's steel catches on a vine and the figure ducks deftly away. His second stroke is better and cuts through muscle to bone. Two of the silent interlopers move to flank Quinn while the other pounds away at Omrax's armor. Quinn is a quick fellow, dodging one strike close enough to shave away some fur and narrowly twisting away from a shot at his jawline.

Channel Smite @ Omrax: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19 MISS
Channel Smite @ Quinn: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 10 + 2 = 24 MISS
Channel Smite @ Quinn: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 10 + 2 = 32 THREAT Confirm: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 10 + 2 = 24 not confirmed Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 plus Neg Energy: 3d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 2) = 4 DC 17 Will for half

Ha! Just a hair off a lot more damage there, Quinn!

Round III -- bold may act!
1. Sareth (94/102 hp), Quinn (87[89]/80 hp), Mrachni, Omrax (75/103 hp)
2. Ambushers (blue @ 34 dmg, green @ 18 dmg)
3. Skybek

The spiritual scimitar follows. Sareth's righteousness burns hotter than the parlor trick that burned him:

Spiritual Scimitar 1: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30 for DMG if hit: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Spiritual Scimitar 2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11 for DMG if hit: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

The cleric's own blade, Sunray flashes an an X-pattern, with an extra for good measure. extra attack.

Scimitar 1: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 12 + 1 = 21 for DMG if hit : 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Scimitar 2: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 1 = 11 for DMG if hit : 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Scimitar BoF: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 12 + 1 = 25 for DMG if hit : 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

if blue drops he'll 5' to help Omrax during the attack.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Omrax had healed a measly 13 above, so sitting at 88hp

Omrax continues to work on the one wearing the green sash.

"Thy friends fall, you shall be next. Surrender now or face your demise!"

He takes his swings, with an extra slash from blessing of fervor.

Omrax-1 +1 EO longsword, pa, feast: 1d20 + 16 - 3 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 16 - 3 + 1 = 23
for pa: 1d8 + 5 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 6 = 12 --- 1H only

for pa: 1d8 + 5 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 6 = 17 --- 1H only

The paladin again tries to stop some of the blood loss from his wounds.

Hands+Mercy: 5d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 5, 2, 2) + (2) = 14 swift healing

Mrachni continues to swing his sword for great justice. +2/+2/+2 from BoF.

Boop: 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 14 + 2 + 1 = 27
Damage: 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

Bloop: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 2 + 1 = 13

Will: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

Quinn absorbs more of the fervorous blessing to add to his strikes and lays into the man in blue. Unless he is felled, then he will go for yellow.
Take +2/+2, switch dance to an inspireing one for +3 att/dam

Scimitar: 1d20 + 15 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 15 + 2 + 3 = 23
Damage: 1d6 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 3 = 11

Haste: 1d20 + 15 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 15 + 2 + 3 = 23

Damage: 1d6 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 3 = 15

56/80 HP by my count

Skybek turns and with power attack, divine favor, and blessing of fervor on his side, repeatedly drives Crimzor into the blue ambusher. If blue is down, he five foot steps north and attempts the same against green. (Using Blessing of Fervor to get an extra attack.)

Crimzor: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32
Damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

Confirm Critical?: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23
Additional Damage: 2d8 + 22 ⇒ (1, 5) + 22 = 28

Crimzor: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26
Damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16

Crimzor: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

"Ahh bet yae didnae ken that Ahh've an axe named Crimzor and Ahh forgot tae feed him this mornin!"

Eager to outdo their mediocre fighting skills at the beginning of the battle, the Pathfinder team lays into the dark figures with a fury. Two bloodied corpses join their companion on the ground. The last standing, wounded quite heavily, tries to beat a hasty retreat to the stone sphinxes ahead. Quinn nevertheless cuts him down.

Quinn AoO: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (14) + 20 = 34 Damage: 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

Out of combat!

Give them a thorough search. Take the ubholy symbols.

-Posted with Wayfinder

They each carry a variety of mundane equipment, some +1 bolts (9 each), a potion of cure moderate wounds (1 each), a dose of poison (1 each), and a silver holy symbol (1 each). Knowledge (religion) to identify.

Quinn is hasty to throw a rope around the healthiest looking ambusher before trying to revive him. "We need to see how many there are. Make 'em talk, ya know?"

T10 Knowledge (religion) for 16, just because.

Religion : 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

"drink these now if you're hurt. These were potent guards, we should be at full strength for later."

CMW: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (4, 4) + 3 = 11

-Posted with Wayfinder

"I healed my wounds. Feel free to use the curatives."

Omrax detects for evil on the thugs and in the garden.

"We may want to check for more of those traps as well...or stay on the path."

Only one of the men is still alive. Quinn takes out his rope and sets to work.

Omrax finds no evil in the Pathfinder courtyard, and neither Quinn nor Sareth have a sense of what god these men pray to.

Knowledge (Religion): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Mrachni shakes his head, the symbol unknown to him as well.

"Well, mae friends, Ahh didnae expect tae get ambushed by some sneaky thugs. Ahh'm glad we put an end tae them richt quick. So, can Ahh help wid healin or are we all set?"

Skybek helps in searching the thugs and surrounding area for items of note.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19

"Lemmae see that wee silver trinket. Ahh might be able tae recognize the faith it was made fer."

Knowledge,Religion: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

Once everyone is healed (use the potions first!) Sareth will nod that he is ready to advance inside.

Just before going in, he'll cast a Communal Protection from Evil.

Omrax nods in agreement. He says a brief prayer before entering, and also calls forth a divine spirit to bond with his longsword.
+2 and keen added to existing enhancements for 5mins.

Oh Inheritor, strengthen this blade against any foes we shall encounter.

• I will learn the weight of my sword. Without my heart
to guide it, it is worthless—my strength is not in my
sword, but in my heart. If I lose my sword, I have lost a
tool. If I betray my heart, I have died.

• I will have faith in the Inheritor. I will channel her
strength through my body. I will shine in her legion,
and I will not tarnish her glory through base actions.

CMW: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (8, 8) + 3 = 19

Quinn quaffs a potion and winces at its potency. He goes to heal the restrained assailant to question him.
Can use some wand charges on him unless someone has something else to raise him to consciousness? I didn't get any smelling salts.

-Posted with Wayfinder

The dwarf, of all people, recognizes the symbol as that of an obscure Osiriani death cult, known as the Followers of Almaut. They believe that any extension of life of any kind is sacrilegious.

If you're going to heal one of them up, I'll need to know what resource you're expending and in what amount.

Omrax will pull out a wand of clw to tap on the survivor once he is tied and all gear removed.

"I shall guard him for questioning. Or justice will be swift if he tries anything.

assuming he did not detect as evil per prior check. Omrax would hold off on divine bond until party was ready to move into the building. I had thought they were all dead-dead.

clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

• I will guard the honor of my fellows, both in thought
and deed, and I will have faith in them.

• When in doubt, I may force my enemies to surrender,
but I am responsible for their lives.

Close, but not quite. Does not detect as evil.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

After two charges are expended from the wand, the man sputters to life. The scowl on his face is brief, and he sits up to spit out a tooth. His expression thereafter is calm, as though he has made peace with his predicament.

Marked off 2 charges.

"Now why not tell us who you are and what you were doing here?

The man's reply is calm. "Who I am is unimportant. Death comes to us all."

Quinn squats down in front of the man and falls back to sit on the grass. "Well, not today. Not for us. And assuming the identity of the unholy symbol is revealed before this we do apologize for possibly violating your beliefs in healing some of those cuts and wounds. But I'm sure we can come to an agreement. We could still release you to be pious as you see fit. Preferably against us, but that's beside the point. We need to know who you are and who else is here. How many. That sort of thing. That way we may aid all of you in your worship. Does that not sound lovely?"
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (3) + 21 = 24 Bahahahahaaaa! The crap rolls strike again!
Insinuating death as a Diplo as opposed to Intimidate? Well, I suppose we could always try to Intimidate him with the prospect of being kept alive for as long as our magics would allow...

Skybek chimes in to give his attempt at diplomacy.

"Aye, Ahh understand good folk like yae are dyin tae worship Almaut. Ahh dae respect that as daes mae fox companion here. We only ask these questions so that we can learn mair aboot the way of Almaut."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27

(Sareth only casts his Protection spell as we go in, so it's not in effect here.)
